Old Major — Restaurant in Baltimore

The bartender was unquestionably friendly and approachable. You'll feel welcomed and attended to. The bar is well lit and clean. However, the bar is poorly stocked. The online photos of the menu items are beautiful versus the sub-par plates I was presented with. The rice was noticably undercooked and the potatoes were unacceptably hard to an almost crispness. These two factors ruined both of those plates. The salmon cake was mostly canned meat, but standard. The roti with jerk chicken was perfectly seasoned with a nice heat, but over-mixed so the texture was a little too mushy. Overall, the place has potential. . . but I have no faith in continuity or reliability. I believe this to be a tight margin of food operation. However, if you can't even cook rice correctly or even fork-test a cut potato before serving it, you'll never be successful. It'd be a lovely place to be a regular at, but I have no intention on wasting my money again for something I can make better at home. Fix it, . . . but...

I've been eyeing this place in Pigtown for what feels like forever. Their limited hours always seemed to clash with my schedule, so imagine my excitement when I saw they were not only open but hosting an improv show! Talk about perfect timing. We rolled up and were immediately charmed by the atmosphere – way bigger than I expected! The improv show was a riot. Sure, there were a couple of clunkers (it's improv, folks!), but the overall energy was hilarious. I'm a big believer that laughter heals, and Pigtown could definitely benefit from a healthy dose of giggles. But here's what really sealed the deal for me – these folks host food giveaways for the unhoused. It's heartwarming to see a business genuinely caring for the community. This spot injects a much-needed dose of fun and compassion into the neighborhood. If you haven't checked it out, do yourself a favor and go get those laughs in! Fyi..They don't...

I just hosted my husband’s 40th birthday here and the experience from start to finish was EXCELLENT! Candice was great to work with, designing a buffet menu and a space arrangement that worked with my party theme (murder mystery party for ~35 guests). We had the whole top floor and the vibes were immaculate and they set up the room exactly to my specifications and even made a couple changes on the fly (thank you!). I heard from so many people how great the food was — personally I LOVED the meatballs and the okra. Guests loved the wings, mac n cheese, channa masala, and sausage & rice especially. We had good drinks, friendly service, and an altogether wonderful time. Thanks so much to the Old Major team for making the...
